Made to Love

The second song to be lifted from John Legend's Love in the Future was produced by his long-term collaborators Kanye West and Dave Tozer, along with Da Internz, and Nana Kwabena. "I met Dave when I was in college at the University Of Pennsylvania in 1998 and we've been making music together ever since," Legend explained at the showcasing of the album in London. "I met Kanye back in 2001 when I had just moved to New York. We worked together on Get Lifted and a bit on Evolver."

Kimbra provides the haunting backup vocals and scatting on this song. The New Zealand singer-songwriter is best known for her contribution to Gotye's hit tune "Somebody That I Used To Know." Tozer told SonicScoop how Kimbra's part came together: "We were in the studio together and we played the song for her, and she had a melody idea that she wanted to just quickly record while it was in her head," he recalled. "It was intended that it would be developed and have lyrics written to it, but her scatting sounded so cool, I said, 'let's just use it like that, instead of developing it further.' So what you hear were the original spontaneous ideas that emerged when she first heard the song. It ended up being very cool."

The song soundtracked an advert for the 2014 Chevrolet Impala. The commercial started running on June 20, 2013 during Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Speaking to Billboard magazine, Legend, whose father worked for Chevy's parent company General Motors in Ohio, said the partnership with the vehicle brand hit very close to him. "Growing up in a family of autoworkers in the Midwest, I'm very sensitive to the fact that we want to support great American manufacturers that are making our cars," he said. "I thought it was an exciting thing to support this classic brand being reinvigorated. The car's beautiful and I'm excited to represent it."
